THE STATE’S health standards watchdog has secured an interim court order to close a nursing home over fears the lives of its 12 residents were at risk.

Inspectors at the Health Information and Quality Authority went to court on Thursday after the “sudden, unagreed and unplanned” discharge and transfer of several residents at Avondale Nursing Home in Callan, Co Kilkenny.

They also raised concerns about fire safety, care practices, governance and a “persistent failure to co-operate” with inspectors.
